Guild Wars 2

Pets are worthless targets in most cases and should be ignored by tag-targeting. If a person wants to target a pet specifically, he/she can just click it.

If you lose your target (due to there not be a sticky target option…), you want to re-target them as soon as possible. Pets just get in the way of this.

If tab targeting ignored pets, Mesmers would lose their profession specific skills.

I wouldn’t really consider illusions/phants to be ‘pets’. I was referring to the pets used by ranger/necro/ele.

In warcraft the “target nearest enemy player” worked perfectly & didn`t make a difference to mage pets not being tab targetable, they still managed to fight fine & that was with one invis` spell not this games broken stealth mechanic crap.

In this game, tab targeting is abominable at best, selecting npcs to one side, walls, even invis` ones at times, pets, one of the 3 million (;p) necro pets out & about.
Try clicking you say? Mkay, I`ll remove right click for one second, which screws up the abysmal camera in this game & click through half a million npcs, mobs, minions & oh look, I clicked one of twenty friendles because you can`t click through to the enemies ;p

The fact that it’s so hard to click on enemies (and the constant target dropping) is why I would like to see an improvement to tab targeting. I think the exclusion of worthless pets from the process would be an improvement.
